Just released: Topaz Mask AI 1.3 (free update/discounted)
« on: August 20, 2020, 02:14:27 pm »

Right now Topaz is launching a special sale (or free update for current users)! Mask AI 1.3 is available for $79.99 (regularly $99.99) from today through Friday, September 4. The Creator Bundle, which includes Mask AI, Adjust AI, and Topaz Studio 2, is also on sale through the same dates and is discounted to $129.99 (regularly $149.99).

A double-discount is available.

This update includes a new translucent processing model for fabrics and semi-transparent/non-reflective materials (e.g. think bride with a long veil). The update also includes a new toolbar for the trimap brushes and tools for improved workflow experience. Along with improved range for the color brush tools, there are several other tweaks and improvements.

Does this offer come with the Lace Table Cloth or the 5 kilogram sack of beetroots?

How does this new software compare to Topaz ReMask 5 (which I'm using right now). Is the new version significantly better?

Is there an additional discount for those upgrading from Remask 5?
